Twitter-ing

Twitter has hit the online social community by storm. It now ranks third among all the social network websites and yet it has only been about three years. Twitter was launched in August 2006 and currently it has over six million users worldwide. So, have you done some twittering?

Twitter is a free micro-blogging website that allows people to stay connected all the time. You can sign up by visiting ‘twitter.com’; use your name when filling out the information boxes. It would be best to provide your real information so that you can also meet real people. Go to your setting and uncheck ‘protect my updates’ if you want everyone to know your updates but if you want to limit your updates to your closest friends or followers, leave it checked.

You can now send links of your Twitter account to all your friends so that they will know that you’re on Twitter.

Even if you’re not online, you can still use Twitter. When you’re a registered Twitter user, you can now access the site through your IM or mobile phone. Again, you need to check your ‘settings’ and connect your phone and IM to Twitter.

The tweets can be sent through registered devices. If you visit your web page, you can write the tweets on the entry window found at the top of your profile page. You can also send tweets from your mobile device. You can send the SMS to 40404. The caller ID of your phone is stored on your account so the tweets can be identified. If you’re in AOL, you can send the IM to TwitterIM but if you’re in Jabber or GTalk, you can send the IM to twitter.com; no matter where you’re on, all your friends and followers will receive your tweets and perhaps, they can also receive your tweets on their mobile phone.

How will you see your friends’ messages? You need to be logged to Twitter in order to add friends. In the ‘Actions’ box, click on the link ‘Add’. The search box will also allow you to find the user page of your former classmates and lost relatives/friends. Once you add someone as your friend, you can now see the tweets but only if the profile is not private. Private profiles will need a confirmation before you can start viewing the tweets.

Check the sidebar of the profile page and see who your friends are following. Perhaps you can find interesting individuals there.

It is much easier to manage a list of your friends online rather than using your mobile phone. You cam limit phone usage to receiving tweets so that even if you’re offline, you can get updates.

There are also number sets on your profile page. The numbers are for your followers and your friends (the people you follow). The numbers can tell a lot. Celebrities and public figures often have lots of followers than friends. Individuals who prefer to watch have lots of friends than followers while those who want to communicate and establish good relationships have balanced numbers.

Twittering is really a lot of fun. Sign up now and see what your friends are doing. Don’t forget to post tweets as well so that you can stay connected. Make use of the various Twitter tools to have a more exciting twitter experience.

How to Promote YourNetBiz through Twitter

So you've decided that you want to build a home based business through YourNetBiz, and you're excited about the prospect of setting your own hours, spending more time with your family, and earning as much money as you want. But how do you start attracting qualified prospects, so you can build your team and increase your income?

One of the most effective ways to find prospects for YourNetBiz is through a website called Twitter. This site allows members to post short messages instantly from your computer or internet enabled mobile phone. These messages, called ”Tweets”, can immediately be seen by any of Twitter's millions of users.

So how can this help you build your business?

Twitter is, above all, a social media site. Through your Tweets, you can interact with millions of users from all over the world. It is an excellent relationship building tool that allows you to connect with others on a more personal level than you could with a blog or a website.

For this reason, Twitter has become a valuable business building tool, not only for YourNetBiz entrepreneurs, but for all kinds of businesses. Even large corporations such as Kraft and Progressive Insurance have successfully used Twitter to attract new customers and build their brands. Smaller companies, iThemes of Overland Park, Kansas, have also used Twitter to increase both sales and profits through targeted relationship building messages.

The key to success with Twitter is to take the time to build genuine relationships with your followers. Darren Gaudry, the creator of YourNetBiz, refers to the process of building relationships with targeted prospects as magnetic sponsoring. Instead of simply posting Tweets telling people how wonderful YourNetBiz is and how much money they could make, you identify problems and provide solutions to attract prospects who are both motivated and excited about your opportunity.

By replying to others' Tweets and crafting your own Tweets to interest people who want the benefits of a home business like YourNetBiz, you can quickly build a large base of YouNetBiz leads. Your posts should describe how your opportunity can benefit your followers, rather than just telling readers to sign up under you. People who want the lifestyle and income potential that YourNetBiz offers will naturally want to contact you for more information.

It's also a good idea to post Tweets that have nothing at all to do with your business. Followers are much more responsive if you come across as a human being, rather than just some marketing machine. Let people know about the day to day happenings of your life, and engage in personal discussion - it will actually help you grow your business more quickly.

Using Twitter will help you develop relationships that can put success well within your reach. You'll help people who want to benefit from your YourNetBiz home business opportunity, and you'll earn a significant income in the process.
